Vatican City, Apr 23, 2013 / 07:39 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis said that people cannot be fully united to Jesus outside of the Church during a Mass to commemorate Saint George, the saint he is named after.

“Christian identity is belonging to the Church, because all of these (the apostles) belonged to the Church, the Mother Church, because finding Jesus outside the Church is impossible,” he said.

I totally agree with the Pope. That is what the Church has always taught. I'm glad somebody finally said it. Now of course a Protestant would interpret that differently in that they believe the Church is just he body of believers. Obviously as Catholics we believe that Protestants are in error.

Our new Pope is going to take us places we have never been and need to be. I love the simplicity of his words and way of life. May O Almighty God Bless him and may he reign as PaPa for a long, long time.
